The July 2026 issue of Guitarist magazine includes an excellent interview with acclaimed blues artist Eric Bibb, alongside a detailed look at the Larson Brothers OM he now uses on tour.
Across the feature, Eric talks about his life in music, the development of his distinctive fingerstyle approach, and the instruments that travel with him around the world. Among them is his Larson Brothers OM, which he describes as one of his favourite guitars to tour with.
One of the highlights of the interview is Eric’s account of first discovering a Larson Brothers guitar in a Paris shop window. Drawn to the instrument immediately, he bought it on the spot and began a relationship with the brand that continues today.
The feature is accompanied by a superb series of photographs from Matt Lincoln, showcasing both Eric and his Larson Brothers OM. The images capture the simplicity, craftsmanship and character of the instrument while providing a fitting backdrop to Eric’s story.
For everyone involved with the Larson Brothers revival, it is fantastic to see the guitars featured so prominently in one of the world’s leading guitar publications, particularly in the hands of a player as respected and influential as Eric Bibb.
Our thanks to David Mead, Jamie Dickson, Matt Lincoln and the entire Guitarist team for producing such a thoughtful and beautifully presented feature.
The July 2026 issue of Guitarist is available now.
